Cherry

Cherry falls in love with Emily, a bright and ambitious college classmate. Their romance blooms amid the excitement of campus life, creating joyful memories that define Cherry's college years.

Emily makes the life-altering decision to pursue her studies in Montreal, leaving Cherry heartbroken. This departure marks a turning point in Cherry's life, leading him into a dark emotional spiral.

In a bid to escape his heartache, Cherry enlists in the Army as a medic. This drastic decision takes him away from the life he once knew and into the chaos of the battlefield.

Before leaving for deployment, Emily confesses her love for Cherry, and they hastily marry. This impulsive act reflects their deep connection but also sets in motion a series of tragic events.

During his two-year service, Cherry witnesses traumatic events, including the death of his friend, Jimenez. These experiences haunt him, leading to severe PTSD and an emotional struggle upon returning home.

Back home, Cherry battles with panic attacks that stem from his wartime trauma. His mental health spirals, prompting him to seek solace in OxyContin, marking the beginning of his addiction journey.

Cherry's addiction to OxyContin quickly escalates, straining his relationship with Emily. As they both succumb to their dependence, they find themselves trapped in a cycle of drug abuse, eventually turning to heroin.

In desperation, Cherry and Emily break into a safe belonging to their drug dealer, only to discover it belongs to a dangerous figure named Black. This reckless move places them in a precarious situation filled with trepidation.

To repay their drug debt to Black, Cherry resorts to robbing banks, which leads to a series of chaotic and risky heists fueled by their addiction. This criminal path deepens their desperation and danger.

Emily's health declines severely due to their addiction, culminating in a near-fatal overdose. This moment of crisis shines a harsh light on the repercussions of their choices and the fragility of life.

Determined to maintain their lifestyle, Cherry collaborates with his drug dealer and friend James Lightfoot to pull off more robberies. Their desperation leads to increasingly reckless decisions that threaten their lives.

During a tense robbery, Lightfoot discovers Pills and Coke fatally shot. In a moment of panic, Cherry and Lightfoot make the heart-wrenching choice to abandon him, showcasing the depths of their desperation.

Cherry confronts Black to settle the drug debt, using an audacious robbery as a means to resolve his predicament. This act is both reckless and desperate, marking a point of no return for Cherry.

In a dramatic finale, Cherry fires his weapon into the air to distract attention and secure escape during the heist. However, his reckless actions lead to his arrest, sealing his fate.

After serving 14 years in prison, Cherry emerges a changed man. As he steps into freedom, he is greeted by Emily, symbolizing a glimmer of hope and the possibility of redemption despite their troubled past.
